This time, I visited for the second party. I was kindly accommodated even though it was crowded, with a full house. I forgot to take pictures, but we had: - Pickled vegetables as a starter - Tongue sashimi - Yukhoe (Korean raw beef dish) - Heart - Mino hot pot As expected, the meat at Shibuya-san's place is delicious. There is no specific source for the beef, but they always have good quality meat. Of course, the raw meat is also delicious and can be photographed. It had been a while since my last visit, and I was happy to see the owner and his daughter in good health. I hadn't posted about my visits before, so I need to make sure to document them properly from now on. Looking forward to the next visit. Thank you for the meal!

We visited this restaurant with our family. The first 5 or 6 dishes were part of the basic course, and then you could order additional items a la carte. We had pre-ordered the prime rib, so we thought we wouldn't need to add much more, but before we knew it, we had ordered everything on the menu. That's how delicious this restaurant is!

I visited the restaurant chosen by the genius horse racing bettor Stekisinsuke-kun on the second day of the horse racing club retreat. The restaurant had a quaint old-fashioned atmosphere. We were seated in a tatami room overlooking a courtyard, which felt very Kyoto-like. We were served a variety of recommended dishes, all of which were delicious with no misses. The beef tongue sashimi served first was exceptionally tasty. The next dish, the heart, exceeded expectations. The rolled kaiware radish was incredibly tender and juicy. Even the salad that came out in the middle was delicious. I was worried about the bill after drinking wine, but it was actually much cheaper than I had imagined. It came out to around 12,000 yen per person. The staff's service was bright, friendly, and top-notch. On the way out, it was raining, so they even gave us an umbrella. I was very satisfied. I will definitely go back again.

I went to "Niku Ryori Shibuya" with my horse racing friends, and the restaurant exceeded our expectations. The food, atmosphere, and service were all excellent, and it was a memorable experience. When I visit Kyoto again, I will definitely come back to this restaurant. Thank you!

They serve raw meat very skillfully, showing that they are knowledgeable about meat. Those who love meat will definitely want to try it once. I had a delicious meal.

This is a restaurant run by a chef who used to work at the famous meat cuisine restaurant Anzuan in Kyoto. The menu is similar to Anzuan's, but you can order not only courses but also a la carte, and you can choose to have only raw meat or grilled dishes. This time, we had raw tongue, raw heart, raw yukhoe (Korean beef tartare), raw white intestine, boiled tripe, grilled tripe, grilled tongue, and grilled skirt steak (both salt and tare sauce). We were able to enjoy fresh raw meat that is not often available. If there are meats not on the menu, they will serve them if they are in stock. There are counter seats and tatami seats, and you can leisurely enjoy the food and drinks. The prices are clearly listed on the menu and are reasonable. The staff are also cheerful, making it a wonderful dining experience.

If you love raw meat, this place is highly recommended. The ordering system starts with raw meats (tongue, heart, yukhoe), tripe hot pot, salad, and beef yukhoe, so it's best to order grilled items or other dishes afterwards. Of course, if you don't like raw meat, you can skip it, but the deliciousness of raw meat is outstanding, so it's better to order as per the flow if you like it. The tongue sashimi and heart sashimi are exquisite. This time, after trying the above dishes, I also had the rolled omelet and the limited menu item of white senmai sashimi, both of which were really delicious and satisfying. Since I was alone this time, I was full with this, but honestly, I wanted to try more, so it might be good to come with 2-3 people. Also, the staff is very friendly and you won't feel bored even if you're alone. Highly recommended restaurant.

Satisfy your raw meat cravings with meat dishes at Mr. Shibuya's restaurant. Located in a quiet neighborhood in an old Japanese house, the atmosphere is lovely. The menu is à la carte, but raw meat, Yanagawa hot pot, and salad are default options (of course, you can exclude anything you don't like). Some favorite dishes include: cucumber, tongue sashimi, Yukhoe (Korean raw beef), Yanagawa hot pot, tail stew, and rice with egg (topped with tail soup and meat). The tongue sashimi and Yukhoe were delicious, especially when mixed with the sweet soy sauce. The tail stew was surprisingly rich and delicious, not too sweet. The tongue with salt and roast with salt were good quality meats, but perhaps a lighter seasoning would have been better. The tail soup was unexpectedly light. There are also many limited menu items available by reservation, so I would love to visit again. The ambiance, the mother and the staff, were all very pleasant. Overall, it was a satisfying experience, although a bit more expensive than expected (around 8,000-9,000 yen per person). We spent 30,000 yen for two people, enjoying a few drinks each.

I made a reservation and visited the restaurant. It seems like a course-style meal where meat dishes are served one after another, and you can add more if you want. There was no curry on the menu, but if you want to eat curry or something similar, it's better to order it when making a reservation. Although I felt it was a bit pricey for the amount, all the raw meat dishes were delicious. - Order details - - Raw tongue - Raw heart - Yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) - Boiled tripe - Salad - Yuzukiri hot pot - Grilled tongue - Kaiware (daikon radish sprouts) rolls - Zosui (rice porridge) The total was 11,000 yen.

You can eat fresh meat easily and quickly, so it's good for summer. The taste didn't really impress me though. Some say the sauce for yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) is delicious, but here all the sauces are tasty, yet lack distinctiveness. The ingredients seem to be overpowered by the sauce. It's good as a dish, but if you want to enjoy the meat more, some more creativity is needed. Also, the dried out green onions were disappointing. The cucumber appetizer was the most impressive. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. I was a bit turned off by the dried flowers in the restroom, haha.

I have been a customer here since the days of the previous owner. It's a family-run place with a cozy atmosphere. The menu is almost the same, including items that regulars love. The difference is that they are open on Sundays. The pickles here are milder in flavor. It's a great place with a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Today, I had a meal with my senior gourmet king in Kyoto after a long time! It's been a while since I visited Kyoto! The place we went to was Shitaya, a restaurant specializing in meat dishes. The restaurant, renovated from a machiya (traditional townhouse), has a nostalgic atmosphere while being kept clean. The exterior looks cool! We started with raw tongue and heart, both delicious without any unpleasant odor. I understand why everyone praises this place. The dishes cooked over heat were also excellent - boiled tripe, simmered tail, and rolled kaiware (radish sprouts). They may not be flashy, but they are really tasty! It's no wonder this place has many repeat customers. It's worth coming back to enjoy Kyoto's meat dishes. This is truly a great restaurant that is worth knowing about. Thank you, gourmet king, for the wonderful meal!

The Shibu-tani family, originally from Gion Yasumi, have opened a new restaurant here as their second location. The shop, renovated from a machiya (traditional townhouse), has a very calming Kyoto atmosphere. The meat dishes, focusing on sashimi, are delicious in a different way from what you would find at a yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurant. I would like to try a full course meal next time.

Meat Cuisine Shibuya @ Kyoto City Known as a pioneer of meat cutting cuisine in Kyoto's Gion district, "Yasumasa" is said to have started the history of Kyoto's meat cuisine in 1948. About three years ago, the head chef who had been at "Yasumasa" for many years became independent and opened a new restaurant called "Meat Cuisine Shibuya." Although I have not been to "Yasumasa," it seems that the menu composition is similar. They offer course meals as well as a la carte options, which is very convenient. The dishes I tried included... Beef tongue sashimi, Beef heart sashimi, Beef tartare, Beef sinew salad, Meat sukiyaki, and so on. These are the typical courses, and additional dishes like white beef intestine, rolled beef intestines, and tail stew can be added on.

Located a 5-minute walk from Kyoto City Hall Station, the 80-year-old townhouse with a quaint atmosphere, Shibu-ya, is run by the father-daughter duo. The atmosphere is very cozy, and the daughter is friendly and welcoming. The menu is simple, offering meat sashimi, simmered dishes, and grilled dishes. I decided to leave it to the daughter's recommendation. - Pickled Chinese cabbage starter: The pickled Chinese cabbage has a sticky texture with a hint of kelp, making it hard to stop eating. - Tongue (raw): Enjoying raw meat first! The tongue sashimi is priced at 1,200 yen (tax included). It is enjoyed with soy sauce and mustard, offering a good texture and a sweet and fatty taste. - Heart (raw): Priced at 1,200 yen (tax included), it has a good texture, no odor, and is enjoyable to eat continuously. - Yukhoe (raw): Priced at 1,200 yen (tax included), the raw meat mixed with soy sauce-based sauce and egg yolk enhances the sweetness. - Mino (blanched): Priced at 1,200 yen (tax included), it is refreshing with ponzu sauce, offering a mild taste and a good chewy texture. - Salad: 400 yen (tax included) - Beef Yuzukiri: A rich broth with the umami of the loin, burdock, and celery, combined with the fluffy sweetness of the egg, making it incredibly delicious. - Liver (grilled): The plump liver is briefly grilled on the surface and served with plenty of green onions, offering a melt-in-your-mouth umami. - Tongue (grilled): Priced at 2,500 yen (tax included), it is simply enjoyed with lemon, having a soft yet chewy texture with a strong umami flavor. - Loin (grilled): Balancing the umami of salted meat and fat, the flavor of the meat is enhanced with the salt seasoning. - Mino (grilled): Priced at 2,500 yen (tax included), it offers a chewy texture with more elasticity than blanched. - Tail Simmered: Priced at 1,200 yen (tax included), it has a very soft and jelly-like texture, where the collagen dissolves, spreading the richness of the tail broth. - Loin (grilled with sauce): When chewed, it has a soft texture with a gentle sweetness of fat, leaving a pleasant aftertaste. - Tail Soup Zosui: To end the meal, we had tail soup with rice to make zosui. The soup packed with umami, combined with the aroma of seaweed, made for a satisfying ending. Enjoying a variety of delicious sashimi and meat dishes in a simple way was satisfying. With good service and a cozy atmosphere, it's a place I would love to visit again.

Located a little north of Kyoto City Hall, this stylish restaurant in a traditional Kyoto building served us delicious meat dishes prepared in various ways, from raw to grilled! The interior has counter seats and tatami rooms, creating a very calm atmosphere. Perfect for dates or entertaining guests! The meat was all fresh and flavorful, perfect with drinks! I definitely want to come back to this restaurant! The menu included raw heart, raw yukhoe, braised tail, haggis roll, grilled mino, grilled tongue, tail soup, salad, boiled mino, and curry. We also had a cake for dessert and a dish of meat and eggs not on the menu. We enjoyed about 4 highballs, and the total cost was around 15,000 yen. Instagram @nozawayuta, TikTok @yuuta0104gurume.

The owner of this place visited the famous restaurant "Anzan" and the food and photos are just as impressive as they seem. What makes this restaurant great is that you can make a reservation. Some may say that's normal, but Anzan only accommodates groups of 3 or more on the second floor. Apart from the atmosphere and location, it's a happy place to be. The service is also good... they ask about your portion preferences, which is great. I want to visit this place often in the future. It was such a wonderful restaurant.

I visited this restaurant in Kyoto to enjoy some meat. The head chef here used to work at a well-known restaurant before opening his own place. The restaurant is located near the Kyoto City Hall, close to the Ritz-Carlton. The atmosphere of this place is very Kyoto-esque. It's been a while since I've been in Kyoto. I started with a beer - they have draft beer for 700 yen, bottled beer for 800 yen, and highball for 600 yen. The alcohol menu is not very extensive. They served pickled Chinese cabbage as a starter, which tasted just like you would expect. The restaurant offers a la carte options, but for first-time visitors or those who are unsure, they recommend starting with an omakase course. They bring out some recommended items, and then you can add on more dishes that you like. I started with tongue sashimi, which had no unpleasant smell and a rich flavor. Next was heart sashimi, which had a nice crunchy texture. The beef tartare was a must-try, with a delicious taste that any raw meat lover would enjoy. The boiled tripe had a chewy texture and a great taste of fat. The beef hot pot was made with thinly sliced lean meat in a sweet and savory sauce. It paired perfectly with beer. The salad had a slightly sweet dressing that was refreshing. After these dishes, I added on some more. The stewed oxtail was incredibly delicious and tender, full of gelatinous goodness. I wished I had a glass of Bordeaux to enjoy with it. The rolled pork with mustard greens had a good balance of fatty pork and greens. I ended up having two beers and one highball, totaling 13,000 yen. The meat dishes were fresh and flavorful, and the service was efficient. The restaurant was busy, but I didn't have to wait at all. The chef and his daughter were attentive, creating a sense of comfort. However, the menu lacked a bit of variety and surprise. It would be great if they had some unique specialties that you can only find at this restaurant. Overall, the quality of the meat was good, and the price was reasonable. I would appreciate it if they had a more diverse selection of alcoholic beverages. Knowing about this place could be useful for various occasions when you want to enjoy meat dishes without the fuss of barbecue. Thank you for the meal.

This time, I visited Shibuya in search of delicious meat and a nice atmosphere. The restaurant is run by the owner and his two daughters. The menu offers a wide variety of options from raw meat to grilled dishes. Every meat dish served with care was exquisite. I was able to thoroughly enjoy the fresh and delicious meat and had a wonderful time. The ambiance and comfort of the restaurant were also excellent. I heard there are hidden menu items, so I would like to become a regular and try requesting them. Thank you for today.

The meat dishes are quite expensive, but there is no explanation about the origin of the meat. The recommendation was to sprinkle garlic powder on the meat, and the beef tongue was served with lemon juice that felt artificial. It seemed like a waste of good quality meat. The alcohol selection mainly consisted of Suntory brands, lacking a variety of choices. With this menu, I hesitated to order. We had 4 types of meat sashimi, Yanagawa hot pot, beef tongue grill, beef loin grill, 2 beers, 1 sake, and 1 sweet potato shochu, totaling 26,000 yen. This is not a cheap price, so I hope they can provide seasonings and alcohol that match the price.

I came to Kyoto with my second daughter for some errands. I was looking for biscuits that you can only buy by lining up. I first learned about the meat culture in Kyoto 25 years ago, and used to visit Kyoto regularly, going to places like Yamanaka, Anzan, Takarai Takarai, or Aje for food with friends or my girlfriend. Recently, I haven't been visiting as often, so it's been a long time since I've been in Kyoto. Back then, I wasn't interested in Japanese cuisine and was too shy to enter a restaurant as a first-time customer... Nobody used to take photos back then, and even a few years ago, I would just eat without taking pictures, so it's funny how I ended up buying several cameras. When I saw Mr. Shibuya's photos on Tabelog, I thought it was Anzan? I looked it up and found out that the head chef had opened his own restaurant. I suddenly remembered this place and made a reservation for the same day. My companion also said they wanted to eat here after a long time. Due to the pandemic, alcohol wasn't served. Instead, we were given non-alcoholic beer as a service. For sashimi, we had everything. Raw tongue, raw heart, raw yukke, and boiled mino. For side dishes, we had tail stew, tail porridge, salad, and kaiware wrapped in meat. After eating at several places and feeling full, we could still go here and enjoy the reliably delicious food. I used to love raw meat so much that I thought I could eat sashimi forever at Anzan. Now they don't have sirloin or liver sashimi, but the sauce, mustard, and garlic powder are so nostalgic. I love eating it this way. I used to think it was an unusual way to eat in Kyoto when I was younger. The tail stew was also adjusted in portion, and the additional kaiware rolls were deeply flavorful with fat. The tail porridge was light and left a refreshing feeling in the stomach. I was full, so I couldn't eat anymore, haha. The rustic and lovely interior of the restaurant was cozy. I also had a chat with the owner's daughter, who was the type of person I would want to visit again, haha. The bill was also very reasonable. As I've gotten older, the number of times I eat meat has dramatically decreased, but if I were to eat meat, I would definitely choose Kyoto. Thank you for the delicious meal. I will definitely visit again.
